Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson passed on the chance of signing Algeria's impressive goalkeeper Rais M'Bolhi.
M'Bolhi spent several days on trial at Manchester United, only for Ferguson to pass up the opportunity to sign him in 2010, says the Daily Mail.
The CSKA Sofia stopper was invited to Manchester United's Carrington training ground for just under a week four years ago but failed to earn himself a deal under the watchful eye of Ferguson and goalkeeping coach Eric Steele.
M'Bolhi was considered as a back-up option but United eventually plumped for Danish goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard, who joined in the following January. Newcastle also monitored the 28-year-old Algerian in 2010.
